- Non-US citizens please check if visas are needed with your nearest consulate.
- Day 1 is the start date and first hotel night included with the journey. Please arrange flights to arrive on or before Day 1.
- To give ample time for check-in and security, we recommend arriving at the airport 3 hours prior to your flight departure. - Travel insurance:
- We highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance prior to your trip.
- Your insurance should cover trip interruption, personal injury, medical expenses, and evacuation and repatriation cover including during pandemic events. - Luggage:
- Travelling with the local operator entitles each guest to travel with one suitcase not exceeding 23kg (50lbs) in weight, with the dimensions of 76cm x 46cm x 25cm (30” x 18” x 10”). Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12”x11”x6” (30x28x14 cm) to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment. Telescopic handles or wheels not permitted.
- Internal flights: Luggage allowance is limited to 1 piece per person (maximum of 20Kg/44lbs) and 1 hand luggage per person (maximum of 7Kg/15lbs).
- We strongly recommend that you test the weight of your baggage prior to travel. You should be able to lift and comfortably transport it for short distances.
- Baggage allowances vary from airline to airline and you should check with your chosen carrier for details prior to travel. - Border crossings and visa requirements:
- Each guest must ensure that their passport is valid for at least six months beyond the conclusion of their trip and that they have acquired all necessary visas and permits. Multiple-entry visas may be required if you are entering a country more than once on your holiday.
- Guests are advised that only the countries you plan to visit can provide up-to-date information about their specific visa requirements. Guests should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of the countries they plan to visit well in advance of travel. Please check your itinerary carefully. Remember that requirements vary based on a passport's place of issue and that the process can take time.
- Check that multi-entry visas have the correct entry dates and destinations before you travel. Please be aware that with some itineraries, you may travel through a country without making an overnight stop. If this happens on your itinerary, you will still need a visa to enter/exit the country.
- Please ensure that you carry proper identification with you at all times, as border crossings will need to see your entry documents and passports. Usually crossing borders is a very straightforward process that is managed by your Travel Director. However, be advised that you may be required to open your luggage and answer simple questions about the length of your stay, purpose of travel, etc.
Depending on your arrival time, your hotel room may not be available until the afternoon. Most hotels allow check-in between 1:00pm-3:00pm, however some charge a fee for early check-in. Please check at the hotel desk to see if you may store your luggage at the hotel if you wish to explore the city on your own before check-in.
The time we mentioned in the itinerary is for reference only. Please refer to your guide on tour for the actual arrangement. The visiting order and duration might be changed according to actual and practical situation for better service.

Three nights in each city was the best !! It gave us more time to experience the charm of each location.

Too many optionals. More like cost saver rather than Trafalgar. This is my 5th Trafalgar tour. In the past, there were less optionals. Be My Guest dinner was good , but not excellent as compared to past Be My Guest meal.

Firstly the Hotels, Crown Plaza, were excellent, lovely clean & fairly spacious rooms with breakfast rooms & menu choices on point. Our tour director, James, certainly knew his stuff, was very informative, entertaining & handled a coach load of mostly retirees who were often a few sheets to the wind (those wines!) like an Aussie muster dog. Our Driver, whose name I can't pronounce let alone spell, was tops, drove like a pro & was very polite & helpful getting us all on & off the coach. Prague was wonderful, interesting, clean, & easy to get around. just as we expected it to be. the local specialist was excellent too. Vienna not so much, a bit disappointing to be honest, which is not Trafalgar's fault but just our opinion. The optional extras were very good though, the concert especially so, so not so bad, we just thought the city was a bit grubby, not as big fans of graffiti as they seem to be, Also one of the optional extras - Viennese Dinner with Musical Entertainment- turned out to an old guy with a piano accordion who couldn't sing for toffee & expected a tip, plus the food was awful, I wouldn't put the wine on my chips, & we were squeezed into long tables with no windows open. I wouldn't choose this option again. Budapest was the highlight of the tour, so interesting with so much history, we 'd consider another trip there. the river cruise fantastic, great food & wine, & more history lessons. The local specialist was excellent, entertaining & informative at the same time, Katya (I think) was the best in our opinion. This was not our first Trafalgar tour & probably (hopefully) won't be our last. Your tours are well considered, well organised with every detail attended to from the coaches themselves to the handling of luggage, large groups of often very different demographics, to vetting each extra & we consider TT to be trustworthy & good value for money. this tour 9/10.
